Developer driven pricing is the only reason the AppStore is as large as it is. Without a developer charging the full value for their services, i.e. a proposed 'revenue share,' the GPT Store will always be a zero sum for the participants to the subscription price at the limit.

OpenAI has promised to pay out a rev share to GPT devs. Undisclosed is what that rev share will amount to. But presumably OpenAI would love to tout a huge number of developers making a living from GPTs, as this will drive a flywheel encouraging more people and orgs to make GPTs, and make existing GPTs more ambitious.
Prediction: They will take the Video Streaming route and own the IP / studios / devs.
